Title: Can I make anything out of it?
Post by: wisconsinteacher on March 02, 2010, 10:35:00 AM
I have 3 sheets of wood that are 3'X3' and 1/4" thick.  Is there anything I can make for traditional archery out of them?  I think with moisture and heat, I could form them but I don't know what to make.

I wish I could draw on here... I have a really cool turkey seat with back rest that folds up and is easy to carry with a shoulder strap.
I think a tree seat would also be a good use of the wood. I think it you do a search you can find the plans for one or more styles.
God bless,Mudd

It is more like sheets of veneer.  Could it be used to make a tube quiver of some kind?

If they are 1/4 inch thick I doubt you can roll it. I was thinking you could laminate it together to get it to 3/4 thickness which is plenty thick for seats.

If its flexible enough to roll,sure.If its too thick and stiff,you could cut it and make a 4,6 or 8 sided tube.So...sure   :)
